Joan cannot question God, only herself. Before the victory, this question came from many people around her, the men who fought with her, they went from being suspicious to following them to the death, mostly not by miracles, but by admiration. On the battlefield, the admiration of men can only be wise and brave. Therefore, she is not a metaphysical messenger of God. From a national hero to an enemy prisoner, she experienced being supported and abandoned by God. She tried to explain this loneliness and contradiction. Can't doubt the existence of God, it is a more devastating blow, so she can only doubt whether what she saw is a miracle? This suspicion is also very frightening. The greatest sorrow in life is to see that my great persistence turns out to be a joke. Joan hid these doubts and disillusions deep in her heart, persisted in God to the end, and achieved the integrity of life. For thousands of years, she has become a part of France's legend and spiritual guidance. Luc Besson walked into her heart in her own movie. This requires not only courage, but also the ruthlessness and compassion of a thinker. With the master Luc Besson, Americans, Canadians, or people from other countries can no longer take the soul of Joan of Arc.
There are some details in history, such as Joan ran away several times after being imprisoned, for example, before she died, she was once again identified as a virgin, and another example is the famous dialogue in the court trial—
questioning: Do you feel that you are affected by God? Grace?
Answer: If not, I hope God can give me; if I have received it, I hope God will still give me.
This question is an academic trap. The dogma of the church at that time was that no one could be sure that he himself received the grace of God. If she answered in the affirmative, then she proved that she was a heresy. And if her answer is no, then she has admitted that she is guilty.
All these were omitted by Luc Besson. He thinks those are not important. It doesn't matter whether she is a hero or even a woman. In the eyes of Luc Besson, Joan of Arc is genderless. She is just a believer in God. He does not express the weakness of her child, nor does he express the weakness of her woman, even when she is alone. No performance. Her question only comes from her relationship with God. Luc Besson is also not responsible for answering the controversy about Joan of Arc: Is it a saint of God or a mentally ill person? He put the power of his thinking in Joan's heart: doubt God or doubt himself? Joan should be a god-given doubter, short life, huge gap. Some people say that Lv's version of "Joan of Arc" is French "Brave Heart". I think it overestimates Mel Gibson's mind.
Compared with Luc Besson, is Ang more difficult to handle? Joan of Arc is a vast history that has been constantly expressed by artists of various professions. Too much reference may be equivalent to no reference. And Li Ang, just refer to Zhang Ailing, in black and white.
Basically finally the original, but the changes are fatal.
The origin of the ring, it is written in the book that Mr. Yi had a tryst with Wang Jiazhi for the first time, saying that today is worth remembering. This is going to buy a ring, you pick it yourself. Tonight is late, otherwise I will accompany you. After another tryst, Mr. Yi didn't mention it. When it came to the assassination this time, I didn't mention that it was Wang Jiazhi who deliberately went around here. In order to prove that Mr. Yi fell in love with Wang Jiazhi, Ang asked Wang Jiazhi to go directly to the jewelry store to order a ring as soon as Mr. Yi took the shot. Furthermore, in order to consolidate, I had to add a lot of dramas in vain, so that Mr. Yi's dark life was born a little better because of Wang Jiazhi, thus making the plot more reasonable. In the book, Wang Jiazhi brought Mr. Yi into a trap with a little bit of resentment outside the task. The moment Mr. Yi picked a six-carat diamond, his heart was softened. In Li Ang's play, Wang Jiazhi's love is well-prepared, and the moment he puts on the ring, it reaches its culmination. It cannot be denied that Ang Lee's dramatic talent has made the film ups and downs. There is a key word: They were originally the relationship between the hunter and the prey, the relationship between the tiger and the hen, and ultimately they are extremely possessive. She is born to be his person, and death is his ghost. Mr. Yi said after he escaped the assassination and executed Wang Jiazhi. Ang Lee changed the cause and effect, so he had to abandon such wonderful lines.
On 20 pages, Zhang Ailing wrote for 30 years. When it comes to writing, there is no "patient", which saves a lot of "necessary" details and "reasonable" foreshadowing. I just want to say one thing: love only exists for a moment, and this moment is still a joke after all.
Like Joan of Arc, it was actually himself that made it difficult for Li Ann.
